[Era of Crisis 47 years, projection]

Peng Xiaoming never dreamed that he would embark on a distant journey when he was over the age of old.

Unconsciously, it has reached the crisis of 47 years, Peng Xiaoming remembers that when he set off from Space City in the early 46 years, he arrived on Mars in the late 46 years, and he stayed on Mars for a while, and he stayed in 47 years. Looking back on 46 years, Peng Xiaoming did almost nothing, and not long after he arrived in 46 years, Space City suffered a thermonuclear attack by "pseudo-civilization", and then embarked on the road of escape, and almost all of the time in the year was spent on flying.

On this day, it was still the same as in the past - playing chess with friends, and this life was very comfortable. He is the best chess player in this circle of friends, and everyone calls him "chess old". He himself doesn't know why, since he knew some basic moves and rules of chess when he was young, he has touched the bypass, he doesn't know why his thinking is so agile, or the thinking power exercised by scientific research when he was young.

It didn't take long for the game to come to the middle game. Peng Xiaoming glanced at the chessboard, memorized it in his heart, and then deduced it in his mind with his strong thinking power, and his consciousness depicted it very clearly, just like taking a photo, this is the peculiarity of Peng Xiaoming's consciousness. The average person would be extremely tired if they experienced such thinking. But Peng Xiaoming is different, a powerful force lifts him up from the ocean of information, he looks at the huge ocean as if he is standing on a cloud, which relies on his more neurons than ordinary people and consciousness higher than ordinary people.

The game was always evenly matched, with neither side finding an entry point to attack, and always pacing on their own turf, because once they were alone, they would face the possibility of losing. And every time Peng Xiaoming moves, the chess moves behind him come one after another, and he has already imagined everything behind. At this time, he closed his eyes, let his mind churn in his brain, let the current of consciousness hit his brain, and after thinking hard, Peng finally took a step to promote the rapid development of the chess game.

At the same time, there was a little silver light flashing in the sky, a projection of the Cornerstone Empire. After unremitting efforts, the Cornerstone Empire finally has the technology to build projections in other universes through the superfilm.

An hour later, the chess game was over, Peng Xiaoming won, and everyone secretly applauded. But they don't know that it's purely a matter of talent – or rather, a higher consciousness than ordinary people.

After the game, there was a powerful force for Peng Xiaoming to go home, this force seemed to come out of the depths of his consciousness, Peng said goodbye to his chess friend, and then staggered home. When he got to the house, it was an apartment, which he rented not long ago, and the apartment was very beautiful, with white walls, white coffee table, and cups made of jade...... He sat on the sofa, as if he was in a milk universe, so comfortable, a little sleepy in the comfort, just as he was about to close his eyes in sleep, a voice sounded.

More precisely—a thought came to his mind, like the powerful force that brought him home.

"Hello, candidate." The thought said.

Peng Xiaoming didn't know if he thought of it by accident or if someone really had a conversation with him, so he was confused and said, "Who are you?" ”

"We are the Cornerstone Empire, and we are talking to you about a projection from another universe."

Peng Xiaoming was completely sleepy.

"What are you going to do?" Peng Xiaoming looked at the piece of silver light in front of him and said, seeing that piece of silver light getting deeper and deeper, he felt that the abyss was about to envelop it in, like the accretion disk of a black hole. Subsequently, some pictures seemed to appear in Peng Xiaoming's consciousness, and they were also like drilling out of the depths, a starry star system, a planetary system of many planets, a square with a missing corner, a corner without a whole, an interstellar battleship, spear and shield, the red and black sides of chess, and the phalanx of the two armies...... The current of consciousness constantly hit his brain, but the intensity was millions of times stronger than when he thought about the chess game, and the amount of information was particularly confusing, which made him a little dizzy. In half an hour, they completed a two-hour conversation that took him two hours to speak, during which time he learned what was going on.

"So, you're the alien civilization?"

"Yes."

"I can help you with your favor, and I don't have anything to do in my life anyway. But you, you also do me and human society a favor - to eliminate the 'pseudo-civilization'. ”

The projection was silent for a long time, then sparkled and said, "I can help with this!" ”

Since obtaining the projection technology, the cornerstone empire then mastered the technology of building an entrance through supermodels, but the entrance required too much energy, the entrance could not be large, and could only accommodate large things equivalent to the volume of a room to cross, so the cornerstone empire built a small but fully functional starship, almost integrated all the advanced technology, and then sent the spaceship into the entrance. The post-project requires an intelligent body of the original universe to assist in projecting and controlling the starship, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the "ghost".

But projection also has a disadvantage, that is, it is a shadow-like existence in itself, and its impact on the original universe is minimal, which is also the reason why it needs the assistance of intelligent beings, and it is precisely because of this that Cornerstone thinks of human beings and looks for a person among human beings. And they found that most people can't accept pure consciousness communication, and once they do, they will fall into a coma due to too much information.

Just as the projection was about to give up, he observed that Peng Xiaoming's brain had many more neurons than normal people, and his consciousness surpassed ordinary people. That's why I chose him, so there was the scene of Peng Xiaoming in the living room.

The next day, Peng Xiaoming came to the Cornerstone Empire starship, which was very small, only the size of a room. "How do you control this starship?"

"You can manipulate with your consciousness, and there's something here that reads your consciousness."

"Okay."

"I started to think you'd disagree." The projection flashed blue light, which meant that it was happy to say, "But that's fine, if you don't agree, then just wait for the moment you die of old age and store your consciousness in the body I molded earlier." Since you have given eternal life, can you still disagree? ”

"Since you can talk to me, then you also have consciousness, since the starship is controlled by consciousness, why can't your consciousness control the starship?" Peng Xiaoming looked at the projection suspiciously, and the flickering blue light of the projection immediately became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.

"Don't forget, I'm just a projection. Although the consciousness field can also penetrate space (if I can't penetrate space, I may not even have a chance to talk to you), but after penetration, the consciousness will be greatly weakened, and it will be far from being able to control the spaceship, and the spacecraft will not be able to detect such a weak consciousness field. In contrast, your consciousness is in this space, so your consciousness field is strong. Moreover, you have a lot more neurons in your brain than normal people, and your consciousness is better than normal people, so I chose you. If I were an ordinary person and I communicated with him with pure consciousness, he would faint because they would not be able to accept the amount of information and the intensity of their thinking. The projection explains, there's one more sentence it doesn't say — and you, different.

"Hehe, I said why am I so good at chess? It turns out that he was born with a good brain...... Do me a favor? ”

"Yes."

At the same time, something white emanated from the starship's body, it was extremely thin—no, infinitely thin, it seemed to be an illusion, like a projection of the Keystone Empire. At the same time, the emanation of the energy of the white object caused a faint gravitational wave.

"That thing is disappearing!" Peng Xiaoming said in horror.

"I was trying to make him disappear!"

“？”

"It's a two-way foil. It can make a dimension curl up to a microcosm, so that the dimensionality of that object drops by one. The three-dimensional structure will be destroyed after becoming two-dimensional, which is undoubtedly a weapon! ”

"Like...... Right. Peng Xiaoming said as if he didn't understand. Then why did you want him to disappear? ”

The projection once again emitted an azure light, as a mood expression, equivalent to the "laughter" of a human being: "What has disappeared is only its encapsulation force field, and the effect of energy divergence is visible to the naked eye, and he is releasing energy in the form of visible light." ”

"Indeed."

"It's essentially a two-dimensional plane, and it falls because the macroscopic high-latitude space touches the low-latitude space. The encapsulation stance separates the two spaces, and once the encapsulation force field evaporates, it will cause a fall. Projection said.

"But will the fall stop?"

"It's not going to stop on its own, but you can have Starship repack the two-way foil and repack it after the two-way foil completes its mission."

The white thing flew into the distance, and suddenly disappeared, and not long after, the two-way foil actually flew in the direction of the sun!

"Hey, Shadow, why did it fly towards the sun?!" Peng said horrified that he knew what that meant.

"You have to put your mind on it, don't get distracted, if you want him to fly there persistently, it will."

Peng Xiaoming tried his best to erase everything else in his mind, leaving only a blank mind......

Soon, the far-away two-way foil received a command to destroy the "pseudo-civilization", and with its vast knowledge base, it found a suspicious flying object, which was not far from Pluto's orbit, so it flew to its target.

At the same time, the suspicious battleship was at the place. It was as if a hole had been dug in the battleship's body, and it was unfathomable, it was the muzzle of the battleship, and its orientation was facing Mars, and there were several thermonuclear bombs lurking in the deepest part of it, like hunters lurking in the dark forest - another round of nuclear strikes were about to begin.

Inside the battleship, a man opened a lockbox, which was full of shiny buttons, and the man pressed all the buttons. So, a thermonuclear bomb popped out of the abyss and shot towards Mars.

In front of the thermonuclear bomb, there is an abyss of space, darker than the surrounding cosmic space, it is spreading at a very high speed, the surrounding space is two-dimensional, the first to be two-dimensional is the number of thermonuclear bombs, they first lose their mass in three dimensions, become a painting, all the internal structures are presented, all displayed on this giant painting. Immediately after that, it was the "pseudo-civilization" warship that was two-dimensionalized, and the battleship accelerated with all its strength before dying, and the light of the fusion engine was brighter than the sun, but it was all in vain. Today, the light of the engine still shines on the two-dimensional plane, like a condensation from a grave.

Fortunately, when the battleship fell, the starship of the Cornerstone Empire contained the two-way foil in time and did not let him spread too much. If it is not controlled, it will spread indefinitely, infinitely translating the height of three dimensions into its width and length increments, to the point of destroying the entire solar system.

Suddenly, the two-way foil stopped spreading. It was the starship that contained it with an encapsulated force field. At this point, a huge painting called "Pseudo-Civilization" was completed.

After destroying the "pseudo-civilization", the starship immediately flew in one direction at an infinitely close speed of light, disappearing into the vast black deep space.
